When a guy with a gun comes up to you and says ’move’ - that’s what you do

Nigel Farage

Sounding slightly bewildered after an advert break, Bull told listeners: “This is interesting… Nigel is at the CPAC conference in Washington and has been broadcasting his programme live from that conference.

“However, in the last couple of minutes, a security sweep has taken place. The American Secret Service have been in there and basically cleared the entire hall.

“They didn’t know it was going to happen, everybody has been cleared including Nigel - there’s just an empty microphone there at the moment!”

It’s understood the conference was evacuated while officers carried out an unannounced security check ahead of a speech by Vice President Mike Pence.

Bull hoped the former Ukip leader would be allowed back inside the venue to finish his hour-long show.

But as the minutes ticked passed, Farage only returned on-air to make a brief appearance by phone to clarify what had happened.

“When a guy with a gun and a Secret Service badge comes up to you and says more than one time ’move’ - that’s what you do,” Farage chuckled.

“What happened today was it was a late addition to the speaker roster of the Vice President Mike Pence and they have literally decided to sweep the building clear.

“So 10,000 people, plus the media and everybody have all been forced out, but I’m pleased to say the sun is shining.”
